Since a switch may be powered on in the field without a serial connection, the switch waits 60
seconds for the user to respond to the setup wizard question in instances where no configuration
files exist. If there is no response, the switch continues normal operation using the default
factory configuration. While waiting for the response from the user, normal switch operation
will continue, including but not limited to:
• If BOOTP/DHCP is supported and enabled by default, the switch attempts to get its address.
• The switch continues to switch traffic.
• The switch continues do MAC learning. If spanning-tree is on by default, the switch
participates in the spanning-tree protocol.
